Geeta Sharma (Jackson Heights)

Jackson Heights, New York resident Geeta Sharma seeks out opportunities for travel, and particularly enjoys trips through Europe. Past adventures have taken her through France, Belgium, and Luxembourg, as well as India. When she is not seeing the world, Geeta Sharma often hosts guests in her home. Remaining true to her culture, she carefully follows its traditions and rules of etiquette. She enjoys preparing for friends and family by cleaning her whole home, cooking elaborate multi-course meals, and setting the table with her nicest china. Guests in her home are treated like royalty, and her hospitality is often celebrated as a result.

While traditions and proper etiquette remain important to Ms. Sharma, women's empowerment is a concern of hers as well, especially in India. She knows that a true balance between work and family can be difficult to achieve, but firmly believes that women can attain a certain level of work-life integration if they try.
